[26-1430] I read the thread about Edward Francis on the "American Silver Before Sterling" forum (some Spoons thread) As a new member I was not allowed to post to that thread, but I have some information to share regarding silversmith Edward Francis. I am a g-g-g-granddaughter of Edward Francis of Leesburg VA 1807-1878/79. He did in fact go to Hinds County, MS then Rankin County, MS; then to Henderson, Rusk County, TX. He is buried there in the Henderson City Cemetery. I have more information on his family. IP: Logged |

Thanks for the information suzannemk. Do you know if Mr. Francis continued to be a silversmith after all these moves and did anyone in his family follow in his footsteps? IP: Logged |

quote: Edward Francis continued as a jeweler in Henderson, TX until his death (1878/79). His will inventory lists all the watches in his shop for repair at the time of his death. His son Edward was also listed as a jeweler in census records. He died in Henderson in 1878. I do not know of any other family members or descendents who were silversmiths. IP: Logged |
